Training Your Boxer

Training Your Dog

by Joan Walker

When correctly trained, the handsome Boxer is renowned for unswerving loyalty to its master and its fearlessness as a guard dog. Training Your Dog books teach ordinary non-expert dog owners how to train their own pets. Virtually every aspect of training is covered, with special focus on the distinctive traits of individual breeds. Dog owners are instructed on humane but effective methods of housebreaking and paper training, obedience training, teaching the dog to respond to verbal commands and hand signals, walking on a leash, and more. Also covered are methods of correcting bad habits such as begging, unwanted barking, and showing hostile behavior. There are many instructive, full-color photos in each book.

This book does an excellent job introducing history of the Boxer breed where it originated and developed through the decades. It gives overview of basic obedience with pictures and easy to understand instructions. It covers a lot of ground like (housetraining, crate training, socialization and gives descriptions of activities boxers can do ie. agility, herding, and rally). The Boxer breed is special, energetic, charismatic and I believe the breeds personality comes across as such.
